"In some situations, it helps with that relationship between upstairs to look at how we can get better as a club."

Torquay are 17th in the Conference having won just one of their last 11 games in all competitions and cannot either be relegated or make the play-offs.

Despite that, Hargreaves says he will not be making wholesale changes to his side as he looks for a more successful campaign next season.

"There aren't a multitude of options, but I will be integrating a couple of lads into the squad and hopefully having a look at a few of the players," said Hargreaves, who have a debut to teenage goalkeeper Dan Lavercombe in the 2-0 loss at Aldershot on Easter Monday.

"It's disrespectful to the other teams to be playing not weakened sides, but tampering with it too much.

"Whatever I do, it's got to be for the football club, whether it's looking at players to see if they've got a future for next year or whether it's deciding about a certain few individuals."
